New Holland 8160 or SAME Silver 100.6 DT?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 8160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Silver 100.6 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The New Holland 8160 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 75% (42.6 L/min / 11.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The New Holland 8160 has 75% more hydraulic flow (42.6 L/min / 11.3 gpm) than the SAME Silver 100.6 DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The New Holland 8160 is 17% heavier (770 kg / 1,698 lb) than the SAME Silver 100.6 DT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- Even on maximum permissible mass (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 8160 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Silver 100.6 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift and a creeper range.
